Art For The Gold! Eduardo Kobra’s Mural For The 2016 Rio Olympics

With the 2016 Olympic Games in full swing in Rio, what a better place to showcase your artistic talents? Well today we get a prime example of such, a beautiful and stunning game that celebrates the games, and also provides some color for the city. Today we get our first look at Eduardo Kobra’s Mural For The 2016 Rio Olympics. The piece is entitled “We Are All One” and features Kobra’s trademark kaleidoscopic style, with the olympic colors being used along the way.

The design features nameless individuals that are symbolic of the Huli of Papua New Guinea, the Tapajó people of the Brazilian Amazon, Thailand’s Karen people and the Mursi of Ethiopia, taking 15 days to complete in the process. Kobra recently spoke about his piece, stating “Look at Europe, where people are rejecting refugees, rejecting what is different” adding “I hope this mural, in the Olympic spirit, will help remind us that we are all different but all one: the human race”.
